The creator Lin Han's principle for the monsters was to eat.
Eat crazily, grow crazily!
With monster cells as the foundation, there was no need to consider digestion and absorption issues.
Basically, whatever could be eaten would either absorb DNA or directly become nutrients for cell proliferation!
Besides the energy needed for crazy growth, the energy required for the monsters to maintain daily activities was also considerable.
On this planet, everyone was a big eater!
The mechanical monster, in order to eat, had its energy core overloaded as it madly dug for ore.
Lin Han did some calculations.
It delivered once every three hours.
Each delivery was a small mountain of ore.
The Ancestor Dragon King and the big crab Yan'ao were also sent to smelt once every three hours.
Each shipment was about 15 tons of steel.
The main reason was that the refining methods were too rough, wasting a lot of raw materials during the process.
Otherwise, the shipment volume could have at least doubled!
The mechanical monster also ate once every three hours, consuming 15 tons of finished metal each time!
After eating, part of it would convert into red energy for the mechanical energy core, and the rest would become nutrients for growth.
This cycle repeated.
After three feedings, the mechanical monster's size finally showed obvious changes.
It was now five meters tall at the shoulder and eight meters long.
The shovel on its head also grew larger.
With the larger shovel, it could collect more iron ore within the set time.
This improved collection efficiency!
In the same amount of time, the mechanical monster could gather two small ore mountains.
However,
the smelting efficiency did not increase.
Only two monsters worked on smelting back and forth!
Their smelting speed and shipment volume remained roughly the same.
In fact, due to fatigue, efficiency even slightly decreased!
Increased collection efficiency minus slightly decreased smelting efficiency meant total efficiency rose by 175%.
Deliveries were made every three hours, so in 24 hours, there were only eight shipments at most.
Every three times it ate, the mechanical monster would grow another bit.
Once it grew, its collection efficiency would keep increasing!
After one day passed...
The Ancestor Dragon King and big crab Yan'ao didn't do anything else but work for it!
The more ore collected, the longer the smelting time.
At first, they could still find time to smelt.
Later, smelting several small ore mountains took nearly an hour each time!
That kind of continuous high-intensity work was unbearable even for the Ancestor Dragon King!
Obviously... the hydrogen separation sac was inflamed again!
At this moment, creator Lin Han was speechless.
"Damn it, useless at everything, number one at inflammation!"
"Upgrade the Ancestor Dragon King's hydrogen separation sac, tenfold enhancement!"
[Consume 1000 authority points, successfully enhance Ancestor Dragon King's hydrogen separation sac by ten times!]
"Damn!! Why did it just swallow 1000 authority points like that?!"
Lin Han's heart was bleeding!
He thought it would only cost a few hundred, but it took a thousand at once!
A bit reckless!
Next time before deciding, he must test how many authority points are needed, then act accordingly!
Although his total authority points had exceeded three thousand!
Still a huge fortune.
But spending this much at once, it really hurt!
"Broken Dragon, broken Dragon, I spent so much on you. If you don't perform, I'll castrate you!"
Amid Lin Han's grumbling,
the Ancestor Dragon King, who had been working continuously for eight hours, suddenly shuddered!
It gave a strong shake.
Shook its head.
As if sensing the heavens' will: if you are not diligent, you will be punished!
"Roar—!!!"
The Ancestor Dragon King let out a loud roar and quickly pulled itself together to continue working!
Two days passed quickly amid the scorching flames.
During these two days,
the mechanical monster ate to its heart's content.
It completely consumed an entire ore vein!
This was truly "relying on the mountain to eat the mountain"!
After eating through the whole ore vein, the mechanical monster had grown into a gigantic mechanical lifeform!
The mountains could no longer hide its massive form!
Monsters that were once tall now appeared tiny in front of it.
Likewise...
By this stage of growth, the mechanical monster had earned Lin Han a lot of authority points.
It ate through an entire ore vein and earned a total of 3,500 authority points from start to finish!
Now it was time to do some accounting.
For these two days, the Ancestor Dragon King and the big crab Yan'ao had been assisting here.
And Lin Han had spent 1,000 authority points on the Ancestor Dragon King.
Based on the importance of these two monsters, a daily wage of 500 authority points was about right!
Two days meant 2,000 authority points!
Subtracting 1,000 and then 2,000 from 3,500 left 500!
So!
This meant he had effectively gained a giant mechanical monster and 500 authority points for free!
This math was very reasonable!
There should be no loopholes.
Creator Lin Han happily looked at the giant mechanical monster.
Through the creator's perspective, he could observe it carefully from all angles.
He could even see inside its body if he wanted!
At this moment,
the energy core inside the giant mechanical monster, the crimson sphere, had a diameter of over 20 meters!
A huge amount of energy radiated from this core, supplying the entire giant mechanical monster.
It is well known that moving a large animal requires a huge amount of energy.
The giant mechanical monster's movement energy all came from this energy core over 20 meters in diameter!
Its body length now exceeded 300 meters!
Part of its feet were sunk into the earth, and its shoulder height was at least 90 meters!
As for its weight, it was impossible to estimate with the naked eye due to its very high body density!
It could only be checked through the system-provided monster attributes!
Lin Han checked and immediately gasped!
Its weight was more than three times that of a fully matured Tyrant King!
"Total weight: 1.55 million tons!"
Such a super monster was truly one of a kind in this world!
Thinking carefully, to support such a huge body and operate normally, then...
What kind of terrifying energy was contained in that energy core only 20 meters in diameter?!
If that thing exploded...
It might cause continental plates to shift!
Looking at his magnificent creation, Lin Han was so excited he stood up immediately!
"I said before, when you grow up, I'll reshape you!"
"Now is the time!"
Saying that, a light screen appeared in front of Lin Han, showing a 3D model of the giant mechanical monster.
Lin Han started to reshape the mechanical monster's appearance with his own hands!
After some shaping, he finally molded the giant mechanical monster into a steel lion!
